Vacaaation!

Greetings, from Galveston, TX!

My family decided to have a major vacation for the first time in years, so we rented out a beach home. We're right across the street from the beach and have a piece of it in our back yard! I love the Gulf of Mexico...the water is warm and clean with just the right amount of wind to stir up some rad waves.

Here's our backyard:

Here's our backyard and the neighborhood from upstairs:


I'm sitting on the back porch right now with my laptop because I don't wanna go inside.

the atlantic ocean is smaller than I remember @_@

That's cool though. It would be a lot of fun to live there and have a boat. Does that connect to the ocean?

Oops, we're on Galveston Island, in a little place called Jamaica Beach (but not the real Jamaica ). The beach we're near is on the Gulf of Mexico. :-)

Ooohh apparently the backyard is an inter coastal water way. For some reason, I thought it connected with the gulf.

The house right next to us has a little boat and we see the neighbors driving them around all the time. It's soo rad!

We've done a lot of crab trapping and fishing off of the back porch, too. So far we've caught several large blue crabs, lots of little fishies, a barracuda (wut), a shrimp, and a catfish.

Awesome! The beach is my favorite place to be. I hope you have a great time!

Thanks, miss!
